Today is my parent's 28th anniversary! I am so blessed to have my parents still together. These days, it's very common it seems for couples to not stay together and the divorce rate is at an all time high! Fortunately for me, I don't have to do seperate holidays, seperate birthdays, and have a his-hers-yours-mine-and-ours type of family. I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with that type of family, I just see it as a blessing to have my parents together and am very thankful that I have the family that I do. Love them!! My parents are such positive role models. My dad is very hardworking and has a great work ethic, I think that might be where I get mine from ;) and he is also very laid back and easy going. My mother is the type that will bend-over-backwards, be there for you no matter what, whenever your down, be there cheering you up kind. I love that about her! She had the best job ever growing up, she got to be a stay at home mom until she realized that her kids were getting older and she wanted out of the house. I see myself and Scott acting alot like them. Hopefully we will one day be able to look back on our 28th anniversary and looking forward to many more. Here is a picture of my parents:
Along with my parents anniversary, one of my very good friends Ashleigh is having a birthday party for her 4 year old Avah and her 1 year old Adrien! Both her kids were born on the same day! How convenient is that?? Ash and I are always trying to get her kids and my niece and nephew together for a playdate, Rylan is 3 and Keegan is 2, so Scotty and I are going to be taking them to the party. I guess this can be a trial and error situation to see if we can handle having kids of our own in the future haha! The party was supposed to consist of a water slide and a kiddie pool since the summer is coming to an end, but good 'ol League City won't be allowing that to happen due to mandatory water rationing caused by the complete lack of rain we have had this whole entire summer! :( Oh well, the good thing about children's parties is they don't need all that jazz to be happy. They are completely satisfied with just having presents, cake, and ice cream readily available.
And last but certainly not least, tomorrow is Scott's big 2-7. It's crazy how time has just flown right by. I remember getting him this beautiful cake made by the Cake Lady for his 25th and driving it from League City to Austin praying that I didn't get into a wreck or make a sharp turn because I wanted it to be perfect when I gave it to him. That cake lasted all of 45 minutes MAYBE and it was completely gone! I didn't even get a chance to take a picture! After that I realized I would never purchase one of those again, I would just do it myself! Luckily for me baking turned out to be one of my most favorite things to do! On his 26th I made him a black velvet cake with homemade frosting and it..took...forever! This year I am making oreo cake balls and he also asked for a carrot cake? Random! Whatever, hehe it's his birthday and if he wants a carrot cake, I'll give the man a carrot cake. Here is a picture of Scott and I when we first started dating:
and here is a picture of us now
I wouldn't necessarily say our looks have changed that much but man how we've grown!
Happy Birthday to you...Happy Anniversary to you...
